A SHOUTOUT FROM THE GRASSROOTS

When you impose a lockdown, shouldn’t it necessarily follow that you also provide basic needs for your people? What about us, for instance, who depend on having to go out and hustle everyday in order to find money to buy food? Hindi ‘nyo naman pwedeng sabihin na hindi kami naghanda kasi nga wala naman kaming nakaset aside na pera para bumili ng stock na pagkain.

When you impose a lockdown, you should’ve also prepared the needed supplies to assist those you ordered to stay home–especially the marginalized sectors of this society. Given that we fully understand the need for social distancing and all that, our need for sustenance is still an ongoing, inevitable thing.
